Trivial Pursuit also holds a multitude of questions from all seasons, with some answers provided by members of the “Power Force” fan-group.

Originally set for release this summer, both games’ release dates have been downgraded to “Coming Soon.” Stay tuned for further details! :)

From time to time we like to post news from our 2005 Network sites that we are a part of – TFW2005.COM, HissTank.com, ToyArk.com, and Thundercats.WS. That being said, there’s a major rumor circling the Internet today and we wanted to share it with everyone here … seeing as there’s some history in the world of Tokusatsu when someone mentions the House of Mouse, or Disney.

From MTV Geek News:

“OK folks, take this one with a grain of plastic for the time being. Unless you’ve been under a rock, you’ve heard that Disney acquired Lucasfilm for roughly $4 billion last week and Marvel for around the same price a few years prior. Well, we have it on good authority that serious discussions are happening at the highest levels of both Disney and Hasbro to fold the largest toy and game company on the planet into the Mouse.

From what we’re told, these are still just discussions at this point, but serious enough that something could be announced at any time and create ripples throughout the entertainment industry. “

The company Hasbro Inc. is the owner of two major franchises that our 2005 Network covers – Transformers and G.I. Joe. Whereas when Disney purchased the Saban Entertainment library and got Power Rangers television rights out of it, Hasbro is the sole owner of Transformers, G.I. Joe, My Little Pony, and more. Not only that, Hasbro makes the toys for those said franchises (not to mention both Marvel and Star Wars). To sum it up, it would be like if Disney purchased TOEI, Bandai, and Saban Brands in one foul swoop.

Share your thoughts and your comments for our Transformers and G.I. Joe fans! Should they be excited about this possible development? Or should they fear that Disney is going to end the war between the Autobots and Decepticons, as well as G.I. Joe and COBRA, forever?
